Mike Tyson

“Iron” Mike Tyson is regarded as one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time. As the youngest boxer to hold the record for the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles at once; he was coined with the titles of ‘kid dynamite’ and the ‘baddest man on the planet’. In 2011, Tyson was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame and inaugurated into the Las Vegas Hall of Fame in 2013. During that time his first autobiography, Undisputed Truth, written by Larry Sloman became a visceral New York Times best seller; which was turned into a one-man hit show, brought to life by renowned filmmaker Spike Lee. Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth turned into a complete knock-out as an international tour, Broadway show and an encore performance in Las Vegas.

Tyson’s mass appeal started with his incomparable athleticism, unrivaled showmanship and then mixed with an even stronger personality that turned him into a bonafide star. In 2009, he starred in blockbuster hit movies, The Hangover and The Hangover 2, and several documentaries. In 2015, Mike worked with director Bert Marcus on a star-studded documentary, Champs, which examined the lives of the boxing greats. Additional film credits include: docu-series on FOX Sports 1, Being Mike Tyson; his 2022 debut into Bollywood for sports action film, Liger; Vendetta, alongside Bruce Willis; a 2024 dramatic thriller, Asphalt City, starring Sean Penn and Tye Sheridan, opened to rave reviews.

In 2020, Tyson set aside the scripts and laced up his gloves for an eight-round exhibition fight at The Staples Center in Los Angeles against Roy Jones, Jr. The match was the 9th highest viewed on pay-per-view history and with streams via Triller PPV. In 2024, Tyson proved his star-power again when 73k people attended Netflix’s first live sports event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The live-event, partnered with Most Valuable Promotions, garnered global attention with 65+ mm streams and 60+ mm sports-enthusiasts witnessed the last dance of Tyson in the ring with Jake Paul.

Years of his cumulative experience as a studied intellectual and philosopher through his downfalls and rise to fame has cultivated his business acumen and success outside of the ring. A podcast was a natural fit for his complex intelligence. Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson started in 2018 and guests ranged from some of the world’s greatest sports legends, actors, and industry leaders. The podcast has been listened to over 40 million times, comes with an impressive digital footprint that has reached over 400 million people and accumulated over 1.4 billion impressions on social media.

Tyson continues to build his business portfolio by adding lifestyle eponymous brands; Tyson 2.0, which is a premier high-quality cannabis company, Tyson Pro, a boxing gear brand so you can fight like Mike. Also his Mike Tyson Collection is in retail stores throughout North America and Canada. This summer he will have a collaboration with the European brand Celio.

Tyson currently splits his time with his wife, children and pigeons in Las Vegas and Florida.
